CONFERENCE.

But little else commands the at
tention of the citizens of Mineral
Point this week than the Methodist
Episcopal conference now in Sos
sion here.
Conference opened Wednesday
morning by the administration of
the Lords Supper, conducted by
Bishop Fowler. Organization was
then perfected by the election of
S. S. Benedict, secretary, and X.
Burnip, statistical sec'y. The pre-
siding elders reported and the char
acters of their elders passed. The
usual committees were then appoint
ed, and business at once assumed a
smooth running order.
Tuesday evening Rev. Joseph
Irish, d. D., delivered an able ser
mon. Wednesday afternoon there
was a conference sermon by Rev. j.
Nj Thoburn, and in the evening the

and reported a good and successful
meeting. One of its greatest attrae-
ton was to hear L. T. Sweeney, of
Columbus, Ohio, who has lately been
travelling in Palestine, and the East.
LAST February one of the horses
of Sam'l Harris fine black draft
team so corked himself that he lost
a hoof in consequence. In the spring
the animal was turned out to pasture,
and upon being taken up the other
day it was found that the new hoof
was complete and as perfect as can
be desired. There are not many
horses that successfully pull through
such an ordeal. The horse was inn
mediately shod and put to work,
and is to-day one of the best horses
in the city.

they endeavored to spring during
the tournament, were not carried
out or needed, "the committee We're
dead set against them, and tried in
every way to accomplish their de-
feat" In brief, they were the prin-
cipal kickers and, as evidence, the
fact that they are still at it is sutfi-
cient proof Their refusal to play
with New Diggings was not counted
as a game forfeited, whereas, had 1t
been, according to rule, they would
have lost all chance for first or sec
ond money. But this little manGu-
vre was left to pass by the commit
tee, and Shullsburg thereby $50 bet
ter off. Is that being "dead set
against them," or "trying to accom-
plish their defeat?" Evidently they
are still in condition making it
necessary for some one to help them
to bed.
IT is hard to know here To be-
gin in saying a good word about
the October number of Godey'S
Lddg'S Boo&, for there are so many
good words to say. With each issue
the fact becomes more and more
evident that the new management
has made marked success. Every
sensible lady who has a thought
about tasteful dress should read the
fashion department of this October
number, and study the fashion plates
and designs. The literary contents
of the number are above criticism.
The practical articles and hints on
home management, decoration,
health and work are such as will be
enjoyed and priced by all who are
fond of making home beautiful
healthful and cheerful.

A Queer Fix.

Colonel Batchelder, late depot quarter.
master at Washington, is in hard luck.
Over year ago he bought pair of horses
for the secretary of war, upon his order, to
replace a wOrn-Out pair that Secretary
Lincoln had left for his successor. And
now Third Auditor Williams refuses to
allow Colonel Batchelder credit for the
voucher, in settling his accounts. The
colonel says that as he acted under the
order of his superior officer he is protected;
and this seems reasonable under the mill.
tary idea that obedience to orders is the
soldiers prime duty.
But the auditor says that the law forbids
such purchase and that it was the
cOlonel's duty to obey the law rather than
the secretary which also seems reason
able, the law being superior to the secre-
tary.
But how the soldier is to safely obey his
superior without haying the education of
lawyer, and how he may avoid carrying
the statute book constantly under his arm,
Is puzzle. We are profoundly happy not
to be a soldier, particularly a quartermas-
ter, when the times are times of peace and
the law and the auditor reign. In war
times law is Of less account and auditors
are of none. The quartermaster under
pressure of necessity and the national
safety, as claimed, may do pretty much as
! u3S quartermaster in our unpleasant.
!1tPs had pleasant experiences. They are
anything but pleasant now. They are
charged with everything and get their
credits by grace and good luck. When the
poor devils are not even protected by the
order Of the secretary of war from paying
for the secretary's losses out of their own
pockets, their case is very bad surely.
Evidently Auditor Williams is wrong In
declaring that every quartermaster must
have such knowledge Of the law as to
know what secretary Of war may and
what he may not order him TO buy, or else
the law needs amending for the relief of the
quartermaster. 1t is the secretarv Who
should pay for the horses il he unlawfullv

LANCASTER, AUGUST IL. 1857.
Inspection That lnspects.


The Men Era processes to be surprised
that the INTELLIGENCER discovered glar.
ing mismanagement at the county hospital,
which was not seen by the commissioners
Of public charities on their visit to the
Lancaster institution, and says at is
likely the public will conclude what they
(the commissioners) didn't see did not
exist"
The Noc Era sadly needs enlighten-
ment. Every citizen Of any experience in
mundane affairs knows what state in.
spection means. 1t is made in haste and
the officials Of the institutions visited have
everything in first class order to withstand
the scrutiny. How can few men by oc-
casional visits to large institution get at
the true inwardness of it, particularly
when the officials are all prepared for the
visit Grand jurics pay visits Of the same
kind four times a year, but it amounts
to nothing, for things are all cut and dried
for their inspection.
The only kind of inspection that inspeets
was that made by the INTELLIGENCER. 1t
was made from day to day, and the pub
lished revelations were only such as could
be substantiated under oath. No attempt
has been made by the hospital manage
ment to refute these charges, except that
which appears in letter from DR.. Mac
Creary, who attacks the credibility of
some of these witnesses against the insti-
tuition. As DR.. MacCreary Is an accused
official, his testimony against his accusers
has no weight. The whole defense rests
upon the letter Of DR.. MacCreary, and the
denials of DIR. Seusenig, both of which are
now to be bolstered up by the silence of
the commissioners Of public charities on
the points at issue.
1t is most lame defense. If the In
TELLIGEACER.s steries are exaggerated,
lct the individual instances be named, and
let the evidence he given under oath. The
INTELLIGENCER 10 no sensational news
paper, but it Is never afraid to strike an
abuse when it sees it, even If in so doing 1t
exposes itself to calumny and vituperation.
